What kind of Bluetooth headset...

Jul 1, 2009 3:29PM PDT

can the iPod Touch with 3.0 software be paired with? Because the iTouch now has Bluetooth, I assumed that I would be able to pair it up with the headset I use for my phone. As I found out, that wasn't the case.

So what kind of headsets is the iPod Touch meant to be paired with?

And what would be an example of that? I'm relatively new to this Bluetooth thing, as you can tell. =|

I'm not really into Bluetooth

I've used Bluetooth with a dongle, which may not necessarily be the same experience, but nontheless I did not like it.

But I just did an Amazon search:

http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-MOTOROKR-Bluetooth-Headphones-Packaging/dp/B000NKCO5Q/ref=tag_dpp_lp_edpp_ttl_in

http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-Voyager-855-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B000UBNFT2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1246589224&sr=8-1

I'm not really sure if the second one supports A2DP. I just did a quick search. You can probably do a similar search on CNET or the internet. Or wait until someone happens by that really likes stereo Bluetooth. Good luck!

Sony has a bunch of stereo BT cans

I'd recommend looking at each of these and going to Amazon (or any other e-tailer) and see if any of their customers have reviewed these. There may be other manufacturers as well (I thought I saw that Samsung and Panasonic also had BT headphones as well, but I haven't actually LOOKED for them).

Generally the early BT headphones from other manufacturers haven't garnered very many great reviews, but Sony seems intent on getting into the BT marketplace so perhaps they're improving the breed with their latest sets.
